If I were a song, I would sound like In A Silent Way. I like the atmosphere of this song, the vibrating background tunes, the moanful trumpet, this fragil and poetic statement about sentimentality.

If I were fighting with my demons, it would sound like Back to Burn. Chaotic sound patterns mingle, a highly energetic rhythm, repeated battle cries, no surrender.

If I were about to say I love you, I would sound like You'll Never Walk Alone. I have a way with words, but sometimes words can't express emotions. They utterly fail to deliver the message. The crescendo in the middle of this piano track somehow portrays my pathos.

If there is nothing but despair inside me, it would sound like Sinnerman. I like the raging desperation, the hysteria showed while seeking shelter. There are two ways of despair: 1. capitulation, acceptance of fate or 2. struggling and fighting. This track describes my fight attitude.

I recently had a discussion with friends about the chances that music might be able to influence someone's life. I am not talking about making music. Is there any chance that listening to music helps you through bad times, engrosses your thoughts permanently or even changes your life completely? I don't think so. The proper music might be able to intensify emotions, but after all the mind (soul) only responds to music which emphasizes existing thoughts and emotions. In fact listening to music means nothing if there's no inner urge to be inspired by it. The magic of music lies in your mind and soul, nowhere else.

And when you ran to me your cheeks flushed with the nightWe walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplightI held your handAnd when I awoke and felt you warm and nearI kissed your honey hair with my grateful tearsOh I love you, girl

I don't believe in the existence of angelsBut looking at you I wonder if that's trueBut if I did I would summon them togetherAnd ask them to watch over youTo each burn a candle for youTo make bright and clear your pathAnd to walk, like Christ, in grace and loveAnd guide you into my arms

i still can't find the right words to describe what i experienced yesterday evening! it was great! it was awesome! it was unbelievable! it was amazing! it was tremendous! it was incredible!

but first of all i want to tell you a little story: when the dates were released we (5 mates and me) decided to go to the first show in dortmund because there are only 2 more dates in germany: again in dortmund today (12th of june) and in berlin. the fact that dortmund is nearer to us than berlin was the point that convinced us to go there.when the date came the tickets were free for sale two of us (patt and me) got up early to get the tickets...he ordered two and i ordered 4...but the server was full of people so he had to wait 10 minutes more than me...finally we both got our ticketsa few days later our phone rang and someone from the "westfahlen halle" asked me whether i had ordered 4 tickets for the 11th of june...it was horrible "yes" i said quietly and she went on "we're sorry. …
